What's the alternative? I have used openrsync on #OpenBSD, but what's the move in Linux?

Exploring snac2 as a lighter Fediverse alternative. I'm a longtime BSD and Linux user. Better on the desktop than the server but always learning.

@rl_dane@polymaths.social @justine@snac.smithies.me.uk @feld@friedcheese.us It's not "professional," but I'm aiming to use my tilde.club email more and the Googly ones less. I'm thinking about other email services, but for now I'm pretty deep into Nextcloud and haven't really wanted to think about the email component of my "stack."
I am using Thunderbird more and more for multiple email accounts and RSS feeds. I should give them another donation. I'd love for it to look "better," knowing full well that many will complain if anything is changed.

1 GB RAM and 1 GB swap is not enough for #Nextcloud. That is all
@rl_dane@polymaths.social @evgandr@bsd.cafe My 1 TB SanDisk SATA SSD that ran OpenBSD died, and a month later, the 2017 HP laptop in which I ran it (along with a 1 TB NVMe drive for Linux) also died.
I had a spare HP laptop from the same year (2017), and I moved the dead laptop's 16 GB of RAM into it. This laptop didn't have an NVMe slot, so I needed a new SATA SSD. I could have used a spare HDD, but I was able to get a 480 GB SanDisk SSD that fit the OS (Bluefin) and all my files. The 1 TB drives were too expensive. I still have the 1 TB NVMe drive, but no computer that will run it.
This is where we're at.

@passthejoe@snac.bsd.cafe @rl_dane@polymaths.social @evgandr@bsd.cafe The 480 GB SanDisk SATA SSD cost $50.30 on 12/1/2025. Current price is $99 -- if you can find one.
The 1 TB drive that died last year cost $49.99 in 2023. Yes it died after only 2 years of service. Today that drive goes for $219.99.

@passthejoe@snac.bsd.cafe @rl_dane@polymaths.social @evgandr@bsd.cafe So after this, I'm going back to my stock of HDDs.
@passthejoe@snac.bsd.cafe @rl_dane@polymaths.social @evgandr@bsd.cafe Also ... how are we going to pay for all the AI that is making computer hardware so expensive if we can't afford modern computers on which to access it?
I wasn't going to pay anyway, so it's a moot point AFAIC.
